3/28 (NAD): Dubai World Cup

[SCUDSBROTHER]

LOL...Seeing that guy with a golden whip is not a visual I could ever have prepared myself for. Seen it all now. What's next? A guy with a slit?

Funny how Nad Al Sheba is one of the finest tracks in the world but next year, we will be seeing the most extravagent sporting area ever created..

Well Armed should not touch a synthetic track again until Breeders Cup Day!!! This horse just won a $6 million race at a mile and a quarter on the dirt.

He has done enough.
Keep him off the synth.

Not only did the horse win on the dirt in a 6M race,
he crushed the field.

Late to the party but good for Well Armed and Gryder... wasn't expecting that.

Goodbye, Nad al Sheba... it's been fun.

I was happy- I like Well Armed and it's nice to have a horse you can follow for more than a year or so. Especially one who's won on dirt, turf and synthetics. Big thanks to the person who posted the race on Youtube- the OTB channel in NYC promptly at 11AM here turned from Dubai to recaps of yesterday's races at Aqueduct (sigh).

Story from Bloodhorse last year about Well Armed here:

(sorry to post the full link addy- my weblink button isn't working for some reason)

I had wondered why he vanished after the UAE Derby- didn't know he was injured so badly for so long.

The Goodwood was on Synth. He has won on ProRide

Won on polytrack, i don't think he has won on pro-ride

All older horse grade 1's should be canceled until further notice

Yes, but his dirt form is far superior to his synthetic form when you consider his starts since October. And are there any real good older horses running out East on the dirt that he can't beat?

Remember, Commentator ended his campaign last year with a no excuse, poor race in the Clark.

He is a good horse who can be great on his day but given the fact that he runs infrequently and rarely in big spots, he shouldn't keep WinStar from sending Well Armed east.

I really did not think Well Armed would win today especdially watching his last performance in which he could not have gotten an easier lead in very slow times only to be run down by Magnum.

Fast horse on a fast track.

Aaron Gryder just won a 6 million dollar race.
Zoiks...

Talk about a real bias today. If I am not mistaken did not all horses who won on the dirt today wired the field?

Looked horrible January 10th, too(giving it up to the 25k claimer "INFORMED.")
Am I right? Is this the individual that won a 6 mil race today? If this isn't the best case for scraping that Pro Ride up (and tossing it into the fkn ocean,) then I don't know what is. Cushion Track is gold compared to this s-h-i-t. I'm a backer of synthetics, but not this particular one.

This is the worst speed duel in the last 10 years. Seriously, they are worth maybe $20 ($30 if ya got an absolute hard-on for blue n' faded.) They can't win it today. One of them is gunna wish he could be put to sleep until the pain subsides. I heard they aren't even known for very good sound quality.
